First Class Offering: Four Pillars of Social Media Description

The class presentation of the Social Media Lab will be the Four Pillars of Social Media presented by Michael C. DeAloia of LNE Group. The Four Pillars will focus on the effective use of the Blog, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. These pillars are the foundation for a provocative and successful social media strategy. Prior to the class, each student will receive a social media workbook that will need to be completed prior to the class starting. A primer on how to register and how to use each of the pillars will be offered. The class will then delve into the strategy on how to link and effectively use each pillar as an effective communications tool for your business or personal brand. Case studies on best practices as well as on poorly executed strategies will be discussed. Emerging social media tools will also be detailed such as FourSquare, Pandora, YouTube, Flickr and Meetup.com. This will be the platform class for all other Social Media Lab classes offered in the series.

Each topic is offered in a four-hour class and each class has one-hour of instruction and then three-hours of lab time that will support the individual or company implementing their social media strategy in real time.
